       12 . Method for laying a section of railway ( 2 ) comprising a railway track ( 3 ) consisting of two rails ( 5 ) and sleepers ( 6 ) by means of which the rails ( 5 ) are linked to one another, and a foundation ( 4 ) on which the railway track ( 3 ) is supported, comprising the following steps: 
 preparation of the foundation ( 4 ),    supporting the railway track ( 3 ) with banking some distance above the foundation ( 4 ),    pouring concrete ( 10 ) between the sleepers ( 6 ) and the foundation ( 4 ),    making the banking of the railway track ( 3 ) and the foundation ( 4 ) different, and    pouring the concrete ( 10 ) by means of several discharge openings ( 9 ) that are alongside one another in the transverse direction characterized by:    setting the discharge openings ( 9 ) at heights that differ from one another.    
   
   
       13 . Method according to  claim 12 , comprising, viewed in the transverse direction, pouring different amounts of concrete ( 10 ) per unit length of the width of the railway track ( 3 ).  
   
   
       14 . Method according to  claim 12 , comprising setting the discharge openings ( 9 ) at essentially the same distance with respect to the sleepers ( 6 ).  
   
   
       15 . Method according to  claim 13 , comprising setting the discharge openings ( 9 ) at essentially the same distance with respect to the sleepers ( 6 ).  
   
   
       16 . Device ( 1 ) for carrying out the method according to  claim 12  for laying a section of railway ( 2 ) with a railway track ( 3 ) consisting of two rails ( 5 ) as well as sleepers ( 6 ) by means of which the rails ( 5 ) are linked to one another, and a foundation ( 4 ) on which the railway track ( 3 ) is supported, comprising a chassis ( 15 ) that can be moved along and over the section of railway ( 2 ), which chassis ( 15 ) has several discharge openings ( 9 ), the height of which can be adjusted relative to the chassis ( 15 ) and which are alongside one another viewed in the transverse direction of the chassis ( 15 ), as well as means ( 8 ) for feeding ready-mix concrete ( 10 ) to said discharge openings ( 9 ), characterized in that the discharge openings ( 9 ) can be set heights that differ from one another.  
   
   
       17 . Device according to  claim 16 , wherein the discharge openings ( 9 ) are linked to one another.  
   
   
       18 . In combination, a device ( 1 ) according to  claim 16 , as well as support tracks ( 14 ) that can be installed on the foundation ( 4 ) for the section of railway ( 2 ) to be laid in order to support the device ( 1 ).  
   
   
       19 . Combination according to  claim 17 , wherein auxiliary vehicles ( 17 ,  18 ) are provided that have wheels ( 16 ) and the support tracks ( 14 ) have a channel shape; in which channel shape the roller members ( 16 ) can be accommodated.  
   
   
       20 . Combination according to  claim 18 , also comprising a hopper ( 7 ) for a quantity of ready-mix concrete ( 10 ), as well as means ( 8 ) for transferring the ready-mix concrete ( 10 ) from the hopper ( 7 ) to the discharge openings ( 9 ).  
   
   
       21 . Combination according to  claim 18 , wherein the device ( 1 ) has wheels ( 12 ) that can be supported on the rails ( 5 ).  
   
   
       22 . In combination, a device ( 1 ) according to  claim 17 , as well as support tracks ( 14 ) that can be installed on the foundation ( 4 ) for the section of railway ( 2 ) to be laid in order to support the device ( 1 ).  
   
   
       23 . Combination according to  claim 19 , also comprising a hopper ( 7 ) for a quantity of ready-mix concrete ( 10 ), as well as means ( 8 ) for transferring the ready-mix concrete ( 10 ) from the hopper ( 7 ) to the discharge openings ( 9 ).  
   
   
       24 . Combination according to  claim 19 , wherein the device ( 1 ) has wheels ( 12 ) that can be supported on the rails ( 5 ).
